He took the porcelain bowl from the fifth lady's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
The concoction is very bitter, but Han Dazhong's heart is sweet. True friendship is revealed in times of adversity. Among the wives and concubines, only the fifth wife was left. Although none of the servants in the mansion ran away, their faces have always been worried these days.
.
If he hadn't left his slave status, he would have been beaten to death as a runaway slave if he ran away. I'm afraid this huge Han mansion would have been empty long ago.
He once stomped his feet, not daring to say that the entire martial arts world, at least the rivers and lakes in Qing'an Prefecture, would also be turbulent. However, the trees fell and the hozens scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed. The small forces that once relied on the Han family, for the sake of
To avoid being affected, he drew a clear line with them early. As for his friends on the surface, after a symbolic visit to Han Mansion, they would vaguely mention the evil sword manual. Han Dazhong had long since given up asking for help from them.
hope.
Perhaps they had a hand in the Han family's current miserable situation.
Fortunately, there was someone loyal to him after all. He glanced at the charming fifth lady and lay down on the bed.
I thought that even though he had been in the martial arts world for decades, he was so angry that he ended up lying in bed one day. He had never been so weak in his life. I don’t know what happened today. He just woke up and felt sleepy again. His eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
, the vision gradually blurred.
The fifth lady smiled at him beside the bed, her smile was beautiful... This was probably the last image that remained in the mind of the martial arts tycoon, Senior Han.
…
…
It was very lively in Goulan today. The guests were whispering to each other and the voices were noisy. The only tea delivery boy's legs were about to break. Tea was being delivered out pot after pot. The broad beans made by Xiaozhu had been sold out. Five cents was the price.
There are often customers who think the small plates are not enough, and give them ten cents to exchange for a larger one.
A curtain was hung in front of the originally open table, covering it tightly. The guests glanced over there from time to time, wondering what the painted skin stage play was, which firmly captured their curiosity.
Lin Dabao is the only waiter here. At this moment, he feels a little nervous, and his palms are sweating while holding the teapot.
Don't be nervous. Grandpa Sun and the others have been busy for so many days and are just waiting for today.
This is related to what kind of life they will live in the future. If they fail today, they will all have to carry their baggage and leave tomorrow.
No, I can't think about it anymore. There are still a few pots of tea that have not been delivered. I can't keep the guests waiting. I wiped the sweat from my palms, picked up the teapot and ran over.
As early as a few days ago, a large notice was posted outside the gate of Wase, which can be seen by both pedestrians and guests.
The content on the notice is very simple. On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the stage play "Painted Skin" will be performed in Goulan. The location of Goulan is marked on a small map below. Everyone is welcome to come and watch.
No one knows what a stage play is. But they are no strangers to "Painted Skin".
That was the most popular story in Goulan a few days ago. The content of the story is extremely exciting. It is said that it can stop children from crying. No matter how courageous a man is, he will tremble after hearing it. Even the security of Qing'an Fucheng at night has been much improved.
Because after hearing that story, fewer people walked at night.
Although I don't know what a stage play is, it's definitely not the old man telling stories dryly. With the reputation of "Painted Skin", after the advertisement went out, the first performance was almost full.
Li Yi was sitting in a remote corner, and Lao Fang was sitting next to him, a little listless, not even thinking about watching a show.
Thinking that he was having trouble with his mother-in-law again, Li Yi didn't pay too much attention. Suddenly someone squeezed into the empty seat next to him. Wu Er came over and whispered: "Han Dazhong is dead."
Wu Er has been very concerned about Senior Han's affairs these days. He knows that the county captain is more concerned about him than him. As soon as there is any news, he will come over and report it immediately.
"When the government received the report from a servant of the Han family, Han Dazhong was already dead on the bed. It is said that he was poisoned to death. The entire Han family was turned upside down, and all the gold and silver belongings were gone. The government conducted an investigation that day.
I got some clues. It is said that the person who did it was the fifth lady he just married home not long ago. That woman had an affair with one of Han Dazhong's disciples and added arsenic to his medicine. The two took away the Han family's belongings and fled. Now
Already wanted."
Wu Er said it very carefully. In fact, the Han family, which has been at the forefront of the storm these days, will spread quickly no matter what news there is.
"Half of my foot was almost in the coffin. Why did I marry a concubine? It's better now. I didn't die in the hands of others, but in the hands of one of my own." Regarding this incident, Wu Er was actually very surprised.
.
According to the news he heard, there were already many forces in the world who were ready to move, and their target was the Han family's anti-evil sword manual. As a result, Han Dazhong died before they could make any move.
It is estimated that many people will be disappointed this time. According to previous speculations, in the entire Han family, Han Dazhong should be the only one who knows the sword manual, and it has not been passed down to any disciple. After Han Dazhong died, the evil sword technique was naturally lost.
, I believe that after hearing this news, there will be many people beating their chests and hating themselves for not taking action earlier.
In the next period of time, the Han family is expected to be very lively. Han Dazhong does not have any heirs, but he has many disciples. Except for the one who ran away with the fifth lady, the remaining disciples and wives will probably try their best to bring the entire family together.
The Han family was completely divided.
Of course, there will always be people who are unwilling to give up in the world. The swordsmanship is so magical. Wu Er is sure that if he can become the best in the world, many of them will cut off that thing without hesitation. Han
It's not enough that the house has been searched through. Those people won't give up until they dig deep to find that thing.
Even Wu Er once thought in his heart whether that thing was more important or being the best in the world. He struggled for a whole day. When he told his doubts to his brother, he almost beat him to death. He never thought about it again.
He has become number one in the world.
Li Yi has almost completely integrated into this world, where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive. Some people do things unscrupulously, and no one will punish them if they do something wrong. This is wrong. From the beginning to the end, I have never wanted to let the person named Han go.
If people punish him, then do it yourself.
Yesterday, I slapped myself hard several times, and then I erased the thought of being number one in the world from my mind.
After Wu Er woke up, he finally realized that the evil sword skills and being the best in the world were all a story casually told by the county captain, and this story was spread from his mouth.
In his eyes, the Han family, which was a giant, was destroyed and fell apart because of this story. Thinking about the origin of this matter, it was nothing more than the story that the county captain spent a quarter of an hour in the room that day to let him remember.
Wu Er didn't sympathize with the Han family at all. On the surface, he was a senior in the martial arts world, but in fact, he only did things like chickens and dogs. Han Dazhong had done enough to kill him more than ten times. He could personally eliminate this harm to the martial arts world. Wu Er still felt vague in his heart.
Somewhat excited.
Suddenly he thought of something, turned to look at Li Yi, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, Han Dazhong is dead, where is Zhao Yuanwai?"
